The member representing Dawakin Kudu/Warawa Federal Constituency of Kano State in the House of Representatives, Mohammed Hassan, has passed away.
The lawmaker died on Friday at a hospital in Abuja after a brief illness. He was widely described as a legal scholar, politician, and respected community leader.
His death was confirmed in a statement by Muhammed Yaro Daba, Chairman of the lawmaker’s Media Promoters.
According to the statement, funeral prayers for the late legislator will be held at his residence in Abuja on Saturday by 2:00 pm.
